New Linux Gaming Survey For September
3 Sep 2015 at 7:46 pm UTC

Quoting: ZanvalI missed G2A in the list of vendors :)

And omg, there's a full article in this comments section :)
Oh, don't get me started on G2A. Rant in a nutshell: they have stolen keys and those keys are most likely for Windows versions which means you won't be supporting porting houses like Feral and Aspyr if you buy from there. If it's cheap, there's a catch.

Heh, I got to change my GPU and driver situation this month. First time I put "AMD" in the graphics card section.

Arma 3 Available For Linux In A Beta
31 Aug 2015 at 7:56 pm UTC

The game works on AMD with Catalyst 15.3. 15.7 is still not working on Ubuntu 15.04 so I was not able to test on that. Performance is low-ish at around 30 on medium graphical details and going higher than that will result in the grass turning blue. The game requires GL4.1 minimum so I was not able to run tests on Mesa.

Company Of Heroes 2 Released For Linux, Port Report & Thoughts Included
28 Aug 2015 at 5:07 am UTC

I ran some preliminary tests with my R7 370 with RadeonSI. The game works just fine, as in it doesn't crash before or during the performance tests, but the performance seems to be rather low. I set everything to minimum except the resolution and I get 20 FPS average in the performance test. It does run at a fine-ish 27 FPS every now and then during that test though so it could maybe possibly be playable. I have yet to play the actual game so I will need to experiment with that a bit more.

I'm quite sceptical of the game running on Iris Pro though.

Nova Blitz Trading Card Game Might Be My New Addiction On Linux
22 Aug 2015 at 5:13 pm UTC

I really hope there are going to be random drops after matches or a similar way to gain new cards without paying a ton of money to be competitive. I'm also not really a person that spends a whole lot of money on F2P stuff and making people suffer outright because of something like that doesn't sound appealing.

Decided to bite the bullet and bought the game. You can expect comparative benchmarks in near future. I think the game might also be featured on the livestream (if I can mute the music).

Quoting: PangachatBtw can we expect a Dirty AMD vs Nvidia benchmark Showdown with this game?
I believe Liam did mention something like that on the IRC. I'd gladly run some comparative benchmarks with my 760 and R7 370.

Quoting: aristoriasit is really sad to see the linux world completely focus on nvidia/intel.
We already have an intel monopoly and the same will happen with nvidia.
Everybody has some kind of responsibility, especially reporters - free or not.
Why? Free enterprise! Just saying ...
What are you on about exactly?
